Oh I just have to share what a beautiful day it is here in Idaho. I am always amazed at God's creation of the earth and what he has given. The beautiful flowers, the enormous trees, and these ginormous (yes I said ginormous) mountains here in Idaho to admire out or windows. I always loved looking at the mountains growing up in WV, but didn't realize that our hills/mountains are very small in comparison. Today is a gorgeous day here. The wind is blowing, I have all the windows open and the house is so cool! What a gorgeous fall day. But from what I've heard it's not quite fall yet. Yesterday it was still 103 degrees but it didn't feel quite as hot as normal. Today it should be in the upper 80's but the wind feels so good.
We celebrated Bill's 34
th birthday yesterday by heading out to the new
Wal-mart after work and a few errands. It's huge! Someone told us it was now the 2
nd largest
Wal-mart. Not sure how true that is, but Ive never seen one this big. I am disappointed that there is no fabric section but the baby section more than make up for it now. We are use to one small corner with about 4 aisles and not much selection. This one has 2 aisles of diapers alone and one whole aisle of food. To those of you who have stores with big baby departments I know this is not exciting, but I was thrilled last night. They have almost doubled their clothing section which is nice too. Bill of course headed over to electronics and I'm pretty sure he
could've gotten lost their. We are used to a section smaller than the one at the old
Wal-mart in Huntington. If you're not from Huntington, picture a very small section. This one is huge and it has much more a selection. They even have an area for you to sit down and print out pictures. We were amazed at how nice it was. And to top it all off, since the
Wal-mart is in
Clarkston, WA (about 7 minutes away) there's no tax on food. So not only did we get a very large food section there's no tax. Bill would also want me to mention that he can now get White Castle's in the frozen food section. We haven't been able to find them anywhere here. So he was ecstatic. I told him that was
Wal-mart B-day present to him ;-)
We took Isaac to the doctor yesterday and he has another sinus infection. I'm not surprised. He's going to be like his momma that way and have them a lot I suppose. He now weighs 19 lb 7oz. Meaning he gained almost a whole pound in one week. At his 6 month check-up he weighed 16lbs 1 oz. 7 weeks later he's 19 lb 7 oz. He's getting so big and so mobile. This boy never wants to stop moving when he's awake. We had to get child proof locks last night because he's so curious about everything and moves a lot faster than I do. He's also amazed at his reflection again. I bought him a big mirror and he loves it. I asked the doctor if it was normal for him to be crawling so much on his belly and not pushing up on his hands and knees yet. He said actually it's not, he shouldn't be doing this until about 9 months. He also said "His motor skills are very advanced for his age." My heart got so big and I was so proud even though I probably had nothing to do with it. As Bill says he's a genius!
Well enough bragging, Isaac is awake from his nap and we're going to enjoy this beautiful day that God has blessed us with.
